Sri Lanka Preview
Sri Lanka had a disappointing ICC Men's T20 World Cup campaign, where they couldn’t make it past the group stage. However, this is a chance for them to rebuild their team for the next T20 World Cup.
Charith Asalanka is the new captain of the T20I team and has a big responsibility on his hands to deliver with the bat.
The batters to watch out for, however, are Kusal Mendis (338 runs in his last 10 matches at an average of 33.8 and a SR of 140) and Pathum Nissanka (180 runs in the last 7 matches at an average of 36 and a SR of 170). Mendis has 3 fifties in 6 innings against India in T20Is and strikes it at 149.
Dinesh Chandimal enters the series in impressive form, having amassed 287 runs at a strike rate of 168.82 in the LPL. The 34-year-old has a wealth of experience and will be a crucial player for the team.
The bowling unit’s most important component will be Wanindu Hasaranga. The star spinner has 16 wickets in his last 8 matches at an economy of 6.38.
Sri Lanka's pace attack is anchored by Matheesha Pathirana. His exceptional accuracy and ability to extract movement make him a challenging bowler to face. The team will rely on his skills to contain India's strong batting lineup in this T20I series.
Sri Lanka will be missing the services of fast bowlers Nuwan Thushara and Dushmantha Chameera, who are out due to health reasons. This does weaken their bowling attack a bit and adds pressure on the likes of Hasaranga and Maheesh Theekshana.
SL Over/Under Betting Tips
Pathum Nissanka has scored 183 runs in nine matches in 2024, averaging 26.14. Against India, he has scored 177 runs in eight matches, and in Sri Lanka, he has scored 199 runs in 10 T20I matches. Coming on the back of excellent performances in the LPL 2024, and given his recent form, we back Nissanka to score over 20.5 runs in today's match.
Sri Lanka Predicted Playing XI:
Charith Asalanka (C), Patthum Nissanka, Kusal Perera, Dinesh Chandimal/Avishka Fernando, Kusal Mendis (wk), Kamindu Mendis, Dasun Shanaka, Wanindu Hasaranga, Dilshan Madushanka/ Asitha Fernando, Maheesh Theekshana, Matheehsa Pathirana
Sri Lanka Actual Playing XI:
Pathum Nissanka, Charith Asalanka, Kamindu Mendis, Dasun Shanaka, Wanidu Hasaranga, Kusal Perera, Kusal Mendis, Maheesh Theekshana, Matheesha Pathirana, Asitha Fernando, Dilshan Madushanka
India Preview
A lot of stars from India’s World T20 winning team are not a part of this T20I series. Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Ravindra Jadeja have announced their retirement from the T20I format, while superstar fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah has been rested.
India will be opening with Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal. Both were in fluent touch in the recent series against Zimbabwe, particularly Jaiswal. If Jaiswal gets going, it will be difficult to stop him and the aggressive left-handed opener can run away with the game.
Suryakumar Yadav is expected to reclaim the number three spot in the batting order. He is one of the world's best T20I batters and had a pretty solid World T20 campaign. Yadav averages 63 against Sri Lanka in the format, with one hundred and two fifties, and will certainly be a big threat for the opposition.
Also, watch out for all-rounder Hardik Pandya. After a memorable World Cup campaign, Pandya will be itching to make a winning statement again. He enjoys batting on these surfaces and his bowling will also be crucial.
In the absence of Bumrah, India’s fast bowling department will be led by Mohammed Siraj and Arshdeep Singh. Siraj has been terrific against Sri Lanka in ODIs and will be looking to replicate that form.
Ravi Bishnoi is developing into a genuine wicket-taking prospect in the middle overs. The leg-spinner has the ability to outfox batters with his googlies and can be a game-changer for India in this series.
IND Over/Under Betting Tips
Suryakumar Yadav averages 63.50 scoring 254 runs in 5 matches against Sri Lanka. In the last five T20I matches he has scored 140 runs and three scores over 25 runs, which shows his consistency with the bat.
India Predicted Playing XI:
Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ꮪhubman Gill , Suryakumar Yadav (C), Rishabh Pant, Rinku Singh, Shivam Dube/Riya Parag, Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Ravi Bishnoi, Mohammad Siraj, Arshdeep Singh
India Actual Playing XI:

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
The Pallekele pitch is typically slow and spin-friendly. Batters will find it easier to score early in the innings when the pitch is harder. However, as the game progresses, the pitch slows down, making it challenging for batsmen. Spinners are expected to dominate as the match wears on.
The weather in Kandy will be cloudy and humid, with chances of a couple of thunderstorms during the day. However, the evening weather is clear, and we should get a full game.

The average score batting first at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium is 161. The highest total posted here is Australia’s 263-3 versus Sri Lanka in 2016. They won that game by 85 runs. The team batting first in this game will be looking to set a score of around 170-180 runs.
Total Over/Under Betting Tips
The average total aggregate score in the last five T20 matches played at Pallekele International Stadium is 360.4 runs. Given the batter-friendly conditions at this venue and the form of both teams' batters, we predict a total score exceeding 337.5 runs.
Toss: To Bat
12 of the 23 T20Is played at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium have been won by the team bating first. This record will probably tempt both captains to look to bat first on winning the toss.
SL vs IND
Winning Prediction
India will start as favorites for this game, despite missing some of their star players. They have a robust batting unit with plenty of batters who can take the game away from the opposition. India’s bowling unit, minus Bumrah and Kuldeep Yadav, does look a little thin on paper, and if Sri Lanka’s spinners manage to choke India’s batters for a low score, they will have a chance in this game. That said, missing Nuwan Thushara is a blow to the home side and weakens their bowling unit. India have more bases covered and have a much stronger batting unit. If they click, then we expect them to clinch a comfortable win.
